Roman ruins of Volubilis and on to Meknes

After an early breakfast we were on the road by 7 am. Our first stop was the Roman ruins of Volubuis. It’s taken 50 years to excavate just a portion of the city which was destroyed in the 1775 by a major earthquake.

After lunch at a women’s cooperative started by Planeterra (charity run by G Adventures) we headed to Meknes and enjoyed a guided tour of the Medina.

Upon reaching our final destination of Fes, we checked into our hotel, chilled for a bit and met the others for dinner and a Moroccan show including drummers, music, a magician and belly dancers.
